A recent review published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing, 22 May 2019, says it's worth exploring.
Drawing blood from peripheral intravenous cannula compared with venepuncture: A systematic review and meta-analysis by Linda L. Coventry RN, Alycia M. Jacob BA, Hugh T. Davies RN, MS, PhD, Laurita Stoneman RN, Samantha Keogh RN, BSc(Hons), PhD, Elisabeth R. Jacob RN, MEd., PhD,.
The article reviewed sixteen studies concluding that further research be undertaken to inform evidence for best practice recommendations as well as looking into whether this practice may benefit specific populations and or settings. The potential impact that this practice could have, would be to relieve the anxiety, pain and trauma of having yet another needle might cause. Who wouldn't agree that this sounds like a worthwhile idea?
